I haven't messed with it much myself but, check out some of the streaming services, especially own3d.tv and justin.tv (or twitch.tv, which is basically justin.tv). They provide software and other assistance for streaming live, and they also provide features to save your streams as videos on your profile, which you can then send straight over to youtube.

Moving this to the video and streams forum.

Dunno :( Someone with more experience doing this will have to help. Anyone? You might try posting this on MOBAFire as well, this site is still picking up and there isn't as much chatter yet.

FRAPS can record pretty much anything that runs as a video/game on your computer. It also records microphone input at the same time.

You can't take justin.tv streamed video, also streaming is SUUUUUUUUPER heavy on your CPU, if you're doing it just for youtube videos you probably won't want to use justin.tv
Fraps is also kind of cpu intensive but nowhere near the scale of streaming. It's saves individual video files onto your computer, but they're all uncompressed, so you'd need a video file editor of some kind such as Sony Vegas.
The rest you can research on your own.

FRAPS also has a nice feature where if you hold the record button for a second or so, it will enter a recording cache state where it will constantly record a 30 second cache. So it can be used to prevent those moments where you think, "Man, I wish I recorded that." It prevents you from having to record every game and delete unnecessarily recordings.
